The Jujitsu envolved into Judo and dis-emphasize strikes. The SC envolved into CC and integrated strikes. It's a complete opposite evolution process between 2 throwing arts. Which direction will the western wrestling envolve? We still don't know yet (the MMA is cross training and not evolution IMO).

Will the future of MA be "sport" or "combat"? I love to collect all those "illegal moves" in all MA sports. If nobody train it, it will be lost forever.

a lot of jiu jitsu is lost in modern sport judo but the experienced folks seem to know a bit of it, especially when explaining exactly why a move is illegal in tournaments and should be done such and such way or else it's too dangerous. the illegal "combat" way is sometimes just a small variation. we don't get to practice these but some people also go to a traditional non-sport class where they do.

I guess the future is "sport" + "combat" for the serious students. For casual hobbyists, it's probably only one or the other at a given time.
